To address unsafe street conditions during student arrival and dismissal, the City of Charlottesville has installed school zone speed cameras at Charlottesville Middle School (formerly Buford), Summit, and Tall Oaks (formerly Johnson). At the start of the year, cameras started monitoring for speeding violations during arrival and dismissal. Initially, warnings were given to motorists; as of Monday, September 8, citations will be issued. Violators who speed 11 MPH over the posted speed limit through a school zone during enforcement hours will be issued a $50 fine. Learn more.

We urge all drivers to be vigilant and responsible. This program is a proven effective tool for changing driver behavior and reducing dangerous driving that poses a significant risk to our students. Our collective responsibility is to protect our students' and staff's lives and ensure their safe journey to and from school.
